How capitalism makes us exploit ourselves - and how to resist | Lou Zucker | TEDxBSEL

Sharing her personal struggles, Lou compellingly illustrates how our current economic system succeedes in constantly making us push ourselves to do things we don't actually want to do. Hopeless? No - as thanks to an inspiring encounter in Syria, Lou also proposes a way to resist against the mechanisms of capitalism: forming a collective. Video credits: Eva Hoffmann & Dana Ghafoor-Zadeh Born in Hamburg, Lou has been living in Berlin for three and a half years now and just started the Master’s program in Social Science at Humboldt-University. Apart from studying, she does some free journalism, spoken word online and offline and oth­er political activities concerning queerfeminist issues and refu­gee’s struggles. She is passionate about dancing tango, good food, music and about ramming her claws and teeth into this racist, capitalist, patriarchial system (although, of course, she does participate in it). One thing she wouldn’t change in the near future: the place she lives in. Not because of Club Mate and Berghain, but because of people around her who make this feel like home. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
